KIPP DC Ferebee-Hope — Quick Answers
What did Rose Restoration do at the KIPP DC Ferebee-Hope campus?
Working with general contractor MCN Build, Rose Restoration ground, densified, and polished the concrete floors for the KIPP DC Ferebee-Hope school and recreation center in Southeast Washington, completed in December 2021.
Why do schools use polished concrete floors?
School floors take peak traffic twice a day, food service, and rec programs, on janitorial budgets that cannot support wax-and-strip cycles. Polished concrete takes decades of student traffic, cleans with an autoscrubber and neutral cleaner, reflects light into corridors, and is renewed by maintenance polishing rather than recoating.
Does Rose Restoration work on school and university projects?
Yes. Rose has delivered multiple education projects with MCN Build and others across the DC region, and its education portfolio also includes work at Glenridge Middle School and university buildings throughout the DMV. Request a consultation.
When MCN Build delivered the KIPP DC Ferebee-Hope campus in Southeast Washington, a public charter school and recreation center serving Ward 8, the floors had to work as hard as the building: corridors and common spaces built for thousands of students, community programs, and decades of daily use on a public maintenance budget. Rose Restoration delivered the polished concrete scope, completed in December 2021.

Why Schools Specify Polished Concrete
School floors face a punishing combination: peak traffic loads twice a day, food service, gym and rec programs, and janitorial budgets that cannot support wax-and-strip cycles. Polished concrete answers all of it. A ground and densified floor takes decades of student traffic, cleans with an autoscrubber and neutral cleaner, reflects light into corridors, and never needs recoating, only periodic maintenance polishing.
The Work
Rose crews ground, densified, and polished the concrete across the project scope to specification, delivering a uniform finish ready for the building’s opening and built for its lifetime. On a school project, finish tolerance and schedule discipline matter equally: the floor has to be right, and it has to be done when the construction schedule says so.
The Relationship
Ferebee-Hope is one of multiple education projects Rose has delivered with MCN Build, a relationship that spans school and university work across the region. Rose’s education portfolio also includes work at Glenridge Middle School and university buildings throughout the DMV.
